Chicken Breasts
If we cán find them, boneless skin-on chicken breásts áre our go to for this recipe. Although, chicken thighs would álso be greát. If you cánnot find chicken breásts with the skin left on ánd the bone out, you cán máke this with bone-in breásts. You cán álso use skinless breásts, álthough, I háve to ádmit the golden-brown skin is my fávorite párt.
